The narrator is proud that one-day people will respect him more. Finally in the poem, “Chinese Hot Pot” America
The social aspect is provided by the way of people who would travel and write to spread ideas and goods for the greater good of mankind in those times. This is asserted in the sources 1, 3, 4 , and 6. In source 1, this is communicated through Cassius Dio, a great historian, he showed that people, in his statement, he explains that people love this fabric, silk, which came from barbarians showing that people can change by a popular demand. In source 3, people who barely knew each other greeted each other with the utmost respect. In source 4, it is insinuated that people had interacted by the market’s interconnected network.
Chinese for example, are not exactly racist. Keeping to yourself because of cultural difference do not make you a horrible person. I think that putting myself in cultural diversity help the most. I did my own research. I enjoy culture, and the difference in them.
I do also believe that it would be a gateway for law enforcement to be able to exploit people more often and pick on them because of something on their record. There are a lot of positive things that would come form the ID cards but I think that the cons out weigh the pros for me. So therefore I believe that for me William Safire made a better argument. In Safire’s essay, he explains to us that with
With this respect comes a stronger conscience as well as greater morals. Diving deep into ideas on how to earn the idea of respect really emphasized the solution to the whole problem association with young adults and the increase in problems with them. Metaphors can be a great way to simplify a complicated subject to enable a wider variety of audiences to understand it more thoroughly, which essentially leads to greater enjoyment of the reading. A great example of using a metaphor to allow the reader to understand better is when the author states “It is an island apart, striving to maintain itself in a sea of change.” (pg 391). This is referring to how the household is not connected with the outer world and is therefore isolated from any interactions.

Reading multicultural literature is not merely for pleasure, it is also for knowledge and understanding. The knowledge and understanding gained by reading multicultural literature, if read open mindedly, has the potential to close the cultural gaps many people face and bring the world closer together. Determining what multicultural literature will be most beneficial to read to gain knowledge and understanding can be difficult and tedious. Most important is for the literature to be factual in regards to the culture. Reading about the author should tell the authors culture and from where and what time period he or she is from.
Swift’s repetitive creation of his extreme mental images, which appeal to one’s senses, gives the reader a false opinion about him, but subsequently becomes beneficial to his overall essay. The use of imagery in “A Modest Proposal” definitely is exceptionally vivid, and as a result, stirs up an emotional response in the reader (pathos). Swift’s intention to using imagery in his essay is to not only get dramatic reactions from his readers, but to also persuade them so much that they are agreeing with his point of view. In his essay, he offers many different descriptive images in which portray the dehumanization of children and women using words such as “breeders,” “flesh,” “carcass,” and “meat”(1026-1027). One of the disturbing images that Swift creates for his audience dehumanizes children by referring to them as pigs which would be roasted then worn as fancy gloves for females, and as boots for men.
Critically analyzing these text gave me a better grasp of some of the more conceptual ideas about language and writing. Lederer’s “The Case for Short Words” helped me understand that often long, complex words are not always preferable. Whenever I was revising my papers I always looked for words that were unnecessarily so. Some of the essays we read didn’t directly tie into my writing but helped me understand how certain choices influenced my consumption of the written word. Carr’s “Is Google Making Us Stoopid?” and Naughton’s “The Internet: Is it Changing the Way We Think?” showed the impact technology has had on us related to reading and critical thinking.
Dear Mnings, and my goals from this class are to apply the knowledge that I have previously learned and to learn new ways to express myself. I think that this class can really help improve the way that we write. I am also hoping to make the best of this class and succeed productively. I hope to expand my techniques in writing. I also want to challenge myself to be a better person where my grammar is concerned.
